On April 16th, the day before the "May Day" holiday, that is, on April 30, the tickets were officially put on sale, and the difficulty of grabbing tickets for every small holiday was greatly increased, and after the tickets were issued on the 16th, the reporter noticed that many netizens "complained" that the 12306App "is waiting for the ticket", "prepare for ten minutes, and grab the ticket for a second"

#12306 seconds no #

also rushed to the hot search on Weibo

Where did the tickets go, and how do I get them?

The reporter contacted the Beijing Railway Customer Service Center

The staff answered these questions

"The ticket from the passing car

It's true that there are not as many tickets for the whole journey

Tickets for the entire journey are usually released first

Tickets will be issued at intermediate stations according to the proportion

So the ticket is less."

The staff told reporters

In the event that the tickets for the whole journey are not sold out

The scale will be readjusted up to 24 hours before departure

Tickets are released again

Staff reminder

"You can place a waitlist ticket as early as possible

At present, the probability of waiting for a ticket is still relatively large"

In addition, the journalist notes

It has been introduced in the official public account of Railway 12306

Waitlist ticketing tips

The first is to increase the number of standby trains

Take Beijing to Harbin as an example

Wait for one train, the estimated success rate is 45%

Waitlist for five trains, with an estimated success rate of 80%

The second is when waiting for the train

Turn on the "Accept new trains" button

Fill in the required train requirements

When there are new trains

The system automatically redeems tickets for passengers

The third is to increase the waitlist for different travel dates

It is more likely to increase the success rate of cashing

Train tickets for May 1 can be purchased today

Tips:

Passengers are requested to purchase tickets through the official channels of the railway

Look for the railway 12306 App
